Default Shock adjustments

Took my XXXT out to a parking lot today.

It tends to throw the rear-over the front when it hits speedbumps. Not all the time, only at high speed, however it does tent to pitch the back up more than the front at nearly all speeds.

Are there any adjustments that I can make to this.

Right now the back springs are set tighter than the front.

Any recommendations?

You might try putting lighter oil in the rear shocks to speed up the rebound or try a lighter spring in the rear to speed up the rear suspension. Experiment with different setups and youll eventually find what your looking for.

Thanks,

After some experimentation, and a call to my LHS I've come to the conclusion that speedbumps aren't ramps.
